Well they are going to say that, then you sign up with them. Remember what Bomber said, the deal meant they could aggressively target VM customers. Also the Facebook team are not going to be privvy to a deal.

yes we know that mate just saying they trying to get VM customers to switch at moment to a announcement is made which fits in with what bomber said

It's a standard answer.Off topic but I emailed my the music streaming service about an album they didn't have and their response "we don't have the rights for this album", a couple of days later they had it. Guess what I'm saying is it's like an automatic replie

When I asked them would VM customers get the same deal, Boxnation confirmed VM have control over any deals or even price they charge for the channel!

VM buy Boxnation at a wholesale price from the current owners of the channel and sell it onto their own customers.

BT have shown an interest in buying Boxnation. If they do, we will possibly see Boxnation bundled in with the BT Sport channels. This will be in the same way that several channels were marketed under the Setanta brand and cuts back office costs.

Who knows, maybe we will eventually see Boxnation included in XL...

But you've said your family members are with VM, so by saying it won't be available, they might switch

That won't make a ounce of difference.

But you were asking on behalf of family members who are with virgin, they tell you that, you go back to them and say "you have to sign up with bt, if you want these channels", this will continue right up until Aug 1st imo
